A youthful Theodore Roosevelt clips the long claws labeled “Confirming Powers of the Board of Aldermen” on the “Tammany” tiger with scissors labeled “By Act of Legislature.” He has disabled the tiger’s jaws with a piece of wood labeled “Public Uprising.” The tiger is in a cage labeled “N.Y. Legislature.” Franklin Edson and William R. Grace stand on the left, both with injuries inflicted by the Tammany Tiger, and with them is an unidentified man.
